Garden Support

Pinecrest Gardens is funded through the generosity of private funds, grants, membership support, and the Village government. Donor support helps to maintain the diverse plant collection and continue efforts for conservation, educational and cultural programs. The garden offers a variety of charitable giving opportunities through membership, sponsorship or through donations to our non-profit sister organizations.

Corporate Sponsorship
Delivering the “wow” factor for marketing and branding initiatives is the foundation of the Gardens’ corporate sponsorship program. Light years from a typical shopping mall, highway billboard, or reality TV program, Pinecrest Gardens offers a clutter-free, stunningly beautiful environment to our corporate partners where their brand will be noticed. We offer a range of opportunities that allow our partnering companies the ability to send a meaningful message to consumers clearly stating they want to be socially responsible and good neighbors. For sponsorship opportunities, please call Alana S. Perez, Pinecrest Gardens Director, at 305.669.6990.

When our sponsors support The Gardens, they make an investment in our community. It’s an investment in our children to ensure that they have viable and vibrant arts education programs in a safe and pristine botanical environment; it’s an investment in the economy of our community that attract visitors who spend their dollars at our local restaurants and shops when they visit the Gardens to walk our botanical paths or see a show; it’s an investment in our area’s young children or teens to encourage creative thinking through visits to our sensory garden, seeing or performing in a local production or participating in a visiting artist workshop; and further, it’s an investment in a rich and varied quality of life.
